this is not a 1150 socket build as it is 2011
it is however a 4th gen build

Of course it's a 2011 X79 mobo and matching CPU - don't bother listening to Nichbachu, he was just telling someone it's fine to run ZECC DRAM and a mobo that doesn't support ECC DRAM,

well i really want to order this tonight... you have responded to my threads before i think im already going to up the ram to 2000 or 2400 because people say bf4 benefits from that... would you personally... for gaming run a 4core/780ti setup or 6 core / 780?

If at all looking to the future and it all falls into your budget, then I'd go with the 2011 build, you know the one that's not a 2011 build, even though it IS a 2011 build 😉 ( couldn't resist, sorry), Plus having 6 cores will be great for anything coming up and improve your overall system for anything else you do 😉
